Kebri Mangest
Kebri Mangest (Amharic "Glory of the State"; also known as Adola or Angedi) is a town and separate woreda in southeastern Ethiopia. It is located in the Guji Zone of the Oromia Region, at an altitude of above sea level.
== Overview ==
Kebri Mangest is served by a network of roads. A new road to Shakiso was built around 1960. Two years later an all weather road reached the town from the north and a dry weather road south to Negele Boran.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 29 November 2007)〕 This town has both telephone and postal service, and is supplied with electricity by the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation from the national grid.〔Woreda administration sources, as quoted in ( ''Final Report for Aposto-Wendo-Negele'' (World Bank Report E1546, vol. 1) ), pp. 71f〕
The gold mine near Kebre Mangest has been the most historically important gold mine in Ethiopia since its opening in 1941; in 1944, for example, its revenue came to nearly a fifth of the total government budget. However in the public vocabulary, according to the Ethiopian historian Bahru Zewde, the name of the town signified "terror both in the forcible recruitment of labour and in the conditions of penal servitude that prevailed in the labour camp."
Kebri Mangest was founded during the Italian occupation; a British soldier who travelled through the area wrote in his memoirs that he remembered a "long, wooded valley with a few recently-built villas, the beginning of a new Italian settlement named Adola", as well as rumors that the Italians had found gold in the area.〔
